Method: Mail::Message#perform_deliveries

Defined in:
lib/mail/message.rb

#perform_deliveries ⇒ Object

If set to false, mail will go through the motions of doing a delivery, but not actually call the delivery method or append the mail object to the Mail.deliveries collection. Useful for testing.

Mail.deliveries.size #=> 0
mail.delivery_method :smtp
mail.perform_deliveries = false
mail.deliver                        # Mail::SMTP not called here
Mail.deliveries.size #=> 0

If you want to test and query the Mail.deliveries collection to see what mail you sent, you should set perform_deliveries to true and use the :test mail delivery_method:

Mail.deliveries.size #=> 0
mail.delivery_method :test
mail.perform_deliveries = true
mail.deliver
Mail.deliveries.size #=> 1

This setting is ignored by mail (though still available as a flag) if you define a delivery_handler
